Biography:
Eva Marie Cassidy (February 2, 1963 in Washington, DC – November 2, 1996 in Bowie, Maryland) was an American vocalist described by the British newspaper The Guardian as "one of the greatest voices of her generation." She had a diverse repertoire of jazz, blues, folk, gospel and pop. Cassidy remained virtually unknown outside of her native Washington, DC, when she died of melanoma (which had spread to her bones) in 1996. Her posthumously released recordings have since sold in excess of four million copies

Over the Rainbow
Harold Arlen, E.Y.Harburg
performed by Eva Cassidy
transcribed by John Manning ([email protected])
(capo 1st fret)
G >> Em Bm G7(III) C Cm(III) G G7 >> C
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
C Cm(III) G >> Em Am7 D7sus D7 G C D7
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
G >> Em Bm G7(III) C Cm(III) G G7 >> C
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
C Cm(III) G >> Em Am7 D7sus D7 G C D7
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
G C
Someday I'll wish upon a star
D G >> Em C D7sus D7
and wake up where the clouds are far behind me
G F#7
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Bm D+ Am7 D7
away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me
[break, then repeat second section]
G >> Em Bm G7(III) C Cm(III) G G7 >> C
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
C Cm(III) G >> Em Am7 D7sus D7 G
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
C
If happy little bluebirds fly
D7 C5add9 Ab(IV) G(III)
above the rainbow, why oh why can't I?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
This is from the CD "The Other Side" by Chuck Brown and
Eva Cassidy (Liaison Records cbd02263). It's the best cover of
"Over the Rainbow" I've ever heard. Her version has a lovely,
melancholy jazz/blues feel, played on a classical guitar with
a legato fingerpicking style.
Roman numerals in parentheses indicated the fret for a barred chord.
The ">>" notation means to "walk" from the first chord to the second:
G >> Em G7 >> C
